The maidservant walked forward and placed the washbasin on the rack. She lowered her head and respectfully walked to the bedside.

”Madam, this servant will help you get up.” The maidservant waited for a while, but there was no response. She could only muster up the courage to look through the curtain.

Ah, ma'am!” When the maidservants saw the Xu's seven orifices bleeding, their eyes widened, as if their eyeballs were about to fall out. There were many wounds on her body, and it was clear that she must have died in pain.

The startled cries of the servants attracted the attention of the servants outside, and upon hearing it, they curiously entered the room. The wind blew into the room quickly, and through the muslin curtain, everyone saw the timid servants from Xu scream and fall to the ground. In an instant, everyone in Xu felt as if they had fallen into an ice kiln and lost their wits.

Very quickly, the news reached the ears of National Duke and the rest, and they hurried there. Seeing that something had really happened to Xu, National Duke used her spirit energy to check for injuries on her body. After a long while, he said, ”There's no way to save her.

National Duke's words shocked everyone present, especially Jing Hong. No matter what, he could not accept this answer. Grandfather, it's impossible for mother to … How could she possibly die! ”

”Jing Hong!” You're not going to listen to Grandfather's words? ” The National Duke looked at Jing Hong sternly. If Jing Hong was not his son's child, he would have kicked him out long ago, this grandson who often disgraced him.

This matter of the Xu was resolved so easily. The attitude of the National Duke towards this matter was already very clear, so the others naturally did not dare to speak carelessly.

Suddenly, the news of National Duke's daughter-in-law becoming ill spread across the streets and alleys of the Sherry City.

The moment Nangong Jin heard this news, he immediately thought of telling Shui Qinan, and quickly walked to Shui Qinan's room. ”Miss Shui, what is the hottest topic of discussion in the city today?”

Seeing his happy face, Shui Qinan was also amused in her heart. When did Nangong Jin become so agitated? Shui Qinan had actually known about Xu's illness long ago. Xu had died, the Xiao Hui had returned, and he had told her everything that happened in the morning.

But seeing that Nangong Jin was so happy, Shui Qinan did not want to ruin his mood, so she said indifferently: ”Young noble Nan Gong, what is the matter?”

”Xu has passed away, this way you can be safer here in the Sherry City!” Nangong Jin said with a smile.

”Miss Shui, do you think that Xu really passed away due to illness? There's something weird about it. ” Nangong Jin said with some doubt.

Of course, Shui Qinan would not tell Nangong Jin about this matter, so Shui Qinan replied coolly, ”Why are you thinking so much about it? The Xu is already dead, and to the Imperial Household, it's only good for the Sherry City.” Nangong Jin thought about it and nodded in agreement.

”Then if Miss Shui is no longer in danger at Sherry City, then I will be able to return to Nangong Residence without worrying.” Nangong Jin said while smiling, and then he walked out of Shui Qinan's room and greeted Ye Bei and went back to Nangong Residence.

After Nangong Jin left, Shui Qinan went to look for Ninth Gongzi. On that day, the Ninth Gongzi told her that Xuan Wu did not disappear but was instead hidden within the Nine Heavens Pagoda.
